The US president declared that “we’re not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells used, that have been used” in the event that Israeli forces launch an all-out assault on the city, the last significant Hamas bastion in the beleaguered enclave.
In a interview, Mr. Biden admitted that throughout Israel’s seven-month campaign to defeat Hamas, US munitions were employed, killing people in Gaza.
It follows his decision last week to postpone the delivery of massive 2,000-pound bombs to Israel due to worries about an impending attack on Rafah.
Because of those bombs and other methods of targeting population centers, civilians have died in Gaza,” Mr. Biden told the news.
